You can choose any of the numbers from which to start. When you stand on a crystal number and press /, the two clock hands will move, and the crystal you are standing on will disappear. Starting from the location where you are standing, the clock hands will tick in opposite directions, and come to rest in positions a number of spaces away equal to the crystal number that disappeared.

You can now choose to erase a crystal number from one of the positions where the clock hands have stopped. These positions will be marked with a glowing circle.

Think carefully about where the clock hands will end up as you choose which crystal number to erase. If both clock hands stop in positions where no crystal numbers are present, you have no choice but to select Retry.

Once you have erased all the crystal numbers, you can continue to the next portal!
